Exclusive: Berlin Philharmonic takes down Mäkelä concert
OrchestrasWe understand that the Digital Concert Hall has taken down Klaus Makela’s recent performance of Tchaikovsky’s sixth symphony, which was held to be a bit of a disaster.
This is apparently the first time a regular Berlin Phil concert has not been kept on the streaming service after its initial live showing.
The official line from the orchestra is that this is ‘due to rights restrictions’. This can only mean that Mäkelä or his manager is refusing to release the streaming rights.
UPDATE: We have received a late clarification: ‘The rights restrictions are connected to contractual details of Mr. Mäkelä’s label.’
That will be Decca.
